PYPOLY BACK - v0.8
==================

Wellcome to Pypoly Back! A simple backend restful framework!

LANGUAGE
--------

`Python 2.7 <https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/index.html>`__

LIBRARIES
---------

-  `twisted <https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/>`__ - Web event-handling
   Framework (Low Level)
-  `cyclone <http://cyclone.io/documentation/>`__ - Http framework (High
   Level)

--------------

INSTALATION
-----------

1. Install python 2.7

   -  Windows - `Link <https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7/>`__
   -  Ubuntu - ``sudo apt-get install python2``
   -  Fedora - ``sudo yum install python2``
   -  Arch - ``sudo pacman -S python2``

2. Install PIP - Python libraries manager

   -  Windows -
      `Link <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pip>`__
   -  Ubuntu - ``sudo apt-get install pip2``
   -  Fedora - ``sudo yum install pip2``
   -  Arch - ``sudo pacman -S pip2``

3. Install this framework using PIP

   -  ``pip2 install pypolyback``

USING
-----

DIRECTORIES
~~~~~~~~~~~

::

    /pypolyback (*) - api internal files
    /config - json configuration files
    /endpoints - backend endpoints
    /utils - helper script files

    Note (\*): The dir pypolyback will only exists if you didn't install
    ``pypolyback``'s library from pip

API
~~~

Here is present all api files that work behind the endpoints

CONFIG
~~~~~~

Here are the configuration files used in the app. They will be send to
the endpoint via param ``api.config``

There are 3 special filenames: \* ``prod.json`` - The oficial
configuration file \* ``dev.json`` - The development configuration file
\* ``local.json`` - The local configuration file (ignore in git)

    Note: They really work as following: the api tries to load
    ``local.json``, then ``dev.json``, then ``prod.json``. So in the
    oficial release you will only have ``prod.json``

ENDPOINTS
~~~~~~~~~

This will be your mais dev dir

All files added here will be an endpoint automatically

i.e.: the file ``endpoints/test/helloworld.py`` will generate an
endpoint ``/test/helloworld``

The file's code will be the following:

.. code:: python


    utils = [
        '[util1]'
        '[util2]'
    ]
    [@async]
    def [method](req, api):
        [process]

Where ``[method]`` is the http request type: \* post \* get \* put \*
delete \* head \* options \* default - executed when a request is made
for any of the above, but it is not implemented

``[process]`` is what you wan the endpoint to do (your code)

``[util1]`` and ``[util2]`` are the *utils* scripts (without ``.py``)

``req`` is *cyclone*'s request, with these properties included: \*
params - arguments received from request, an object (primitive, list or
dictionary) \* send - function to respond the request with an object

    ``req``'s complete documentatios in present on cyclone's site
    http://cyclone.io/documentation/web.html

``api`` is the object that contains all api functionalities: \* config -
Configuration dictionary used in the actual scope \* debug - function to
log messages \* error - function to log errors

``[@async]`` is an optional annotation, that makes this method
asynchronous.

Note: if async is used you will need to import it
(``from pypolyback import async``)

    ``async`` complete doc is the same as twisted's ``inlineCallback``
    https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.internet.defer.html#inlineCallbacks

UTILS
~~~~~

Python files with reusable code, to be called on endpoints.

It will be a normal cod, but with some special funcions:

init(api)

::

    The function that will be executed on server startup
    Only one time.

``[method]``\ (req, api) - ``[method]`` being the type of http request

::

    The function that will be called before every request to the function with the same name on the endpoint.
    Any result should be stored on the variable `req`, because it is the only local variable on the request.

any(req, api)

::

    The function that will be executed before any request.
    Note: thids function will be executed before the later.

APP.py
~~~~~~

    This file is not needed if you installed from pip

An executable to start your server

EXAMPLE
-------

To have a feeling of how things are working take a look at the file
``endpoints/example/ex_endpoint.py``

It should be like this:

.. code:: python

    #!/usr/bin/env python
    # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

    from pypolyback import async

    utils = [
        'example_util'
    ]

    @async  #método asíncrono
    def get(req, api):
        """
        Start the server
        Then go, from your browser, in `localhost:8888/example/ex_endpoint`
        There shoud open a page with the content `Success in method get!`

        Output:
            string
        """

        result = yield api.example_util.write(req) #coletando dados de forma asíncrona

        req.send(result) #retornando os dados

    def post(req, api):
        """
        Start the server
        Then make a post http request to `localhost:8888/example/ex_endpoint`
        Sending the documented object as input 
        It should be returned `{"message": input.message, "status":"Sucess in method post!"}`

        Input:
            message: string

        Output:
            message: string
            status: string
        """

        message = req.params['message'] #coletando dados da requisição

        #retornando os dados
        req.send({
            'message': api.example_util.write(req),
            'request': message
        })

Now follow instructions to test it and see how the endpoint works

--------------

STARTING THE SERVER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are 2 ways to start the server

1. Execute ``pypolyback`` from terminal on your root project folder
   (Recomended)

2. Call the method ``start()`` from module ``pypolyback.server`` (Only
   recomended if you need to do something before starting the server)

--------------

OBSERVATION
-----------

Both the framework and this page are in development, so, subjected to
changes.
